Your P.O.V
Awkward is the understatement of the century. Try extremely uncomfortable and uneasy to the point where my skin is crawling with anxiousness and it's nearly intolerable.
"Sooo," I drawl out while averting my eyes to anywhere besides directly at Erik as I sit on the couch.
"Yeah," Erik mumbles, scratching the back of his neck. I let out a breath and tap my hands on my thighs.
"I'm sorry," we say in unison and I put my head in my unbound hands.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have done that," Erik apologizes and I shake my head.
"It's my fault, too. Let's just pretend nothing happened."
"Agreed." I exhale and we both grin until we hear a huge booming sound outside of the cave.
"What was that?" I ask.
"No idea," Erik says.
Just then, Racer dashes into the cave light a flash of lightning and looks at Erik with a smirk. "We have some visitors. Brain wants us at the mountain peek ASAP," he directs and exits the cave as fast as he entered.
Erik let's out a little groan before grabbing the cuffs and I let him put them on my wrists without a fight. He places a hand on the small of my back and guides me toward the entrance.
"What's going on?" I question.
"The legal guilds are here to try to destroy us and rescue you, but that won't happen because the Oracion Seis can't be defeated," Erik answers.
This could be my chance to escape.
I don't say anything as we exit the tunnel and are greeted by the bright evening sun.
"Cubellios!" Erik calls, and in a matter of seconds, the cobra, now turned serpent with wings, flies down from the sky before morphing back to her original form.
"I want a Cubellios," I mumble under my breath.
"Yeah, everyone does. I found her in the Tower of Heaven," he replies as I follow his direction to what I can tell will be a very interesting fight.
We remain silent as we meander through the forest for a while until voices start to bounce through the area. Once this happens, Erik grabs my bicep and sends me a quick, apologetic look before we walk out in to the clearing where the rest of the Oracion Seis is waiting.
"I got her, sir," Erik states and Brain turns to us. I can't help but notice the way Erik's voice changed to a darker and more serious tone.
"Wonderful. Let's take these children down. Midnight will watch over our guest since he's our trump card and won't be fighting this battle," Brain says and I instantly tense up along with Erik.
"Nonsense. I can fight and guard her," Erik argues.
"We don't have time for this. That's an order," Brain dismisses as another explosion happens only a few feet away and dust kicks up around the area.
We all turn to it and see the famous Fiore wizards once the air clears. I've somehow ended up right next to a sleeping Midnight on the edge of the group while the others stand in a straight line.
I see Erik look at me out of the corner of his eye and I send him a small nod. I've never been so confused with my feeling in my life. I mean, I'm supposed to want to be rescued since this dark guild is going to possibly kill me, but I've grown attached to Erik and Sorano so much. On the other hand, they could've just been using me the whole time to get me to trust them.
I guess my mission right now is to stay out of the fight. It looks to be getting started as Brain begins to speak. There's probably about twelve wizards against the Oracion Seis.
"Lowly maggots, swarming together," Brain spats in disgust and I now recognize the main guilds that the wizards are from are Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, and Lamia Scale.
"I'm afraid short-stuff isn't going to make it to the party," Sorano says evily.
"Neither is that big, bald Wizard Saint. We took them down," Gemini chimes in. The legal wizards stare in shock at the Oracion Seis with their mouths agape.
"They're terrified. I can hear it," Erik says with a sexy smirk.
"The quicker we wrap this up, the better. I'll run you over so fast it'll make your head spin," Racer chuckles.
"Money determines strength in this world. If you save a penny a day, it'll become a vast fortune in the future. Furthermore-" Hoteye gets cut off.
"Enough with the preaching, Hoteye," Erik and Racer say in unison.
I shift my eyes down to Midnight who's lounging cross-legged on his rug with his head down and loud snores escaping his body.
"Is it sad that I'm terrified of the snoring guy?" a blonde girl asks in a trembling voice, but I have to agree that someone willingly letting their guard down is pretty terrifying.
"I must admit, I didn't expect you to show yourselves," a red-head states and I instantly recognize her as the infamous Erza Scarlet or Titania. "We want (Y/N)."
The Oracion Seis all let out malevolent laughs as if the funniest joke ever has just been told but they're the only ones who understand it. Although, something tells me that Erik and Sorano don't find it all that humorous.
A few moments of silence passes as each team assesses the other. I feel a tremor of nervousness ease it's way from my chest to my stomach until someone breaks the silence.
"What? Want an invitation?" Erik asks sarcastically.
Immediately, two wizards dart forward. "You being here is enough for us!" they shout.
"Racer, take them," Brain demands.
"Yes, sir." Racer darts away from the line and, with the speed that would put a cheetah's to shame, appears behind the two boys and knocks them to the ground effortlessly.
"Natsu! Gray!" the blonde one screeches, then turns to her right to see a copy of her that I presume is Gemini. Gemini starts whipping Lucy around and I cringe at the sight.
My rescue team is hopeless.
Next thing that happens is a girl with pink hair and a white-haired boy go after Hoteye and fail so miserably that I honestly want to laugh. I don't know how I ever thought I could get away from this guild.
Three boys that I know are from Blue Pegasus band together and go after Racer, babbling nonsensical phrases. Racer easily uses his ninja speed to take each of them out and I hadn't even noticed the Fairy Tail Wizard standing in front of Midnight.
"Let's see how you like my flames!" he shouts, aiming the fire attack straight for Midnight and I quickly step away from him.
The fire shoots from the guy's mouth and somehow deflects off Midnight's body, causing it to head in my direction and I shriek as the scorching flames brush my side.
"(Y/N)!" a voice yells over the chaos and I feel my body being tugged to the side by none other than Erik. "Are you okay?" he asks in a somewhat frantic tone.
I look down and see my clothes are singed on my side. My skin is a little burnt, but it doesn't look like the fire did much damage. I look over Erik's shoulder to see Racer battling with Erza and he seems to be having a difficult time.
"I'm fine. You should help Racer," I assure him.
Erik looks me over and hesitantly nods. "Stay near Brain if you can. They won't attack him," he directs and turns to walk over to where Racer is fighting Erza.
I scan the area and see most of the legal guild wizards down, and somehow I know, not even the unstoppable Erza Scarlet can defeat a member of the Oracion Seis.
